My ex wives see me as androgynous but still a very hot looking male – not gay. I have in the last couple of years been seeing a couple of gender therapists and have been on HRT for 3 months. I cannot come out as a tg for another year. I needed an alibi as I know changes will happen even though I'm older. I know that the prostate issues are treated with anti androgens. So this is my solution – like Angela Jolie with her breast cancer fears I began to weave my story. I'm taking anti androgens for prevention and have been seeing a therapist because I'm worried with my androgynous makeup that I may have a gender identity issue by doing this. My ex and my daughter have already recognized a change in empathy from me, they like what I am emotionally now. So the next steps hopefully will be a little easier when the time comes to announce that I am tg. Has anyone tried this approach?

I suppose we all have different issues and ways of dealing with them.
I found it really quite easy and well accepted by all when I just came out and told everyone and started going to work and in public as me.
If people had a problem with it I ignored them as it wasn't my problem.
You may find that doing stuff slowly just prolongs the discussion people will have. In my case it was over in a day, when I came out at work it went viral so I didn't have to tell others anyway.
Also testicle disfunction would affect Your hormonal levels - in particular the drop of T, so You could use that excuse too.
I live in a very conservative society. Wish it was Thailand. I sit on a number of Boards and I will retire in a year. It is unlikly that I will live in this City again - just quiet visits.
Thanks on the hormone levels - used to be 900+ and that made me very intense and difficult to live with. They all like the new me with a newfound empathy
